    Backup and make image


    I did that with the actual Windows 7 Backup & restore prior to accepting the original free upgrade to Windows 10. I still have that spare drive collecting dust somewhere in a draw, but it's reassuring to know I could switch back to Win7 just by swapping out the HDD. About once every 6 months I do so, but only to keep it's updates reasonably current. *Smile

    Another way without a spare drive is to simply create a virtual hard drive and restore everything to vhd and then add a boot entry for vhd to existing boot host drive (basically ignoring boot entry in vhd).
